The sky is getting brighter, the dawn is beginning to appear, the Liao army has finished pulling out the camp and cleaning up, and the thousands of cavalry escorted women, children, old and weak villagers to the north first. The rest of the squad converged on the official road to stand by, about 6,000 horsemen, the long dragon of half a mile long black pressure could not see the head, the swords and guns were like a forest, and the flags were displayed, which was magnificent.

The steward of the gang divided the horses for Zhang Yue, He San and others to ride, as well as water and dry food, not because he was kind, but because the Liao army was all dispatched with cavalry, and it was impossible to bring a foot pawn. Zhang Yue walked behind the queue with his own soldiers, and marched to the southwest.

On the way, from time to time, a small group of Liao army sentry cavalry broke away from the brigade, what they were doing, Zhang Yue knew with his feet, this was to reconnoiter the reaction of the nearby prefectures, counties and township troops, and at the same time to book the march route and spy on the targets that could be looted.

However, the villagers along the way may have known the news of the Liao army's southward movement, most of the villages on both sides of the official road were empty and there was no one in sight, and the Liao army only temporarily stopped for an hour at noon to rest, and then continued to set off, arriving at a place called Jiejiazhuang in the north of Nangong County in the afternoon of the same day.

Five miles to the west here is Nangong Shuize, and five miles to the south is the North City Gate of Nangong County, the terrain is very favorable, can be attacked and defended, and there is no need to worry about advance and retreat. What's more, the autumn grass on the edge of the water is separated, which can be used to raise war horses and an excellent place for the army to get water and camp.

There are a lot of 6,000 Liao troops, plus nearly 10,000 war horses, it is not easy to build a large camp. The officers instructed the soldiers to unload their weapons, dry rations, tents and other miscellaneous items, and the whole manor was in a commotion for two or three miles.

The army was busy camping, Gao Mohan was the main general, and his own officers advanced to the estate to take care of everything for him, he just had to sit and wait. Zhang Yue was half a prisoner and half entourage, and no one birded him, but at this time he was a little idle, and he was happy to stay on the side with Zhang Da and others to watch the excitement.

"Cut! Just set up camp like this, give me a thousand fine horses, and be able to kill him a few back and forth, what a fucking grievance! ”

Zhang Yue saw that the camp of the Liao soldiers was divided very arbitrarily, although the camp tents were also in rows, but they were not regular, not to mention the towering camps on the periphery, there was not even a trench, which showed the arrogance and arrogance of the Liao army.

"I see they camp very carefully! Brother Zhang, can you see the way out, but you have been in the army? Zhang Da asked with a smile.

"Not really, but I've read military books and know something."

"It's all because the Yiwu army can't hold Yi and Ding's two states, the Liao army has been going south for many years, and the court has not sent troops, so that our people will suffer." He San whispered indignantly.

"But isn't it, if the Yiwu Army takes back Mozhou and Yingzhou, and there is Zhangshui in between, it will not be easy for the Liao Army to hit our Jizhou......" Zhang Da looked around cautiously and whispered.

"Huh? Talent! I can't see it, you two are very knowledgeable! Zhang Yue was very surprised, and looked at the two of them seriously.

"Hey...... We are all from Hengshui, and our home is by the Hulu River, and we have seen a lot, and we have heard a lot......" Zhang Da smirked a little shyly.

"Brother Zhang, you are the talent, the house manager is very fierce, he didn't treat you harshly, we have suffered a lot at the beginning......" He San is much more alert and tactful, and his speech is also very pleasing.

"Hey! That guy is very dark, you don't see it! It's a pity that a talent like you doesn't even have a big name, how about I help you choose a name? Zhang Yue struck while the iron was hot.

"I have a name! It's called He Ju, and everyone calls me He San, and it's easy to listen to! Zhang Da is not right, you can help him get a good one! He San said with a smile.

"Haha...... Ho Ju? What horse? You don't look like a good horse! ”

Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh and joke, turned his head to look at Zhang Da, and flashed in his heart: big tiger, big cow, dog leftover...... and so on, and finally said seriously: "I see that you are a good person, honest and diligent, but you must be ambitious and courageous, and you can't always think about being a young man, so you call ...... Zhang Xingzhi, it's not smooth...... Just call Zhang Zhixing and forget it! ”

"Good! Thank you, Brother Zhang! My family tree is the generation of Zhizi......"

"You three kill! What to do there? Come here! A loud shout interrupted the trio's rambling.

Zhang Yue turned his head to see that it was the pro-soldier general surnamed Wu, who was holding the waist knife in one hand and the horse whip in the other, looking at them coldly, the three of them glanced at each other, and hurriedly trotted forward.

"What does the general command? Just show ......" Zhang Yue had a flattering smile on his face, his life was in the hands of others, he couldn't help but pretend to be a grandson, not to mention that this guy saved him from the trouble, and there was no pressure at all to please him.

"You thief! General Gao has entered the manor, and he is still grinding here, come with me......" The guy surnamed Wu scolded loudly, and when he saw Zhang Yue's sneer, the horsewhip raised in his hand was put down again.

Zhang Yue was startled, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that Gao Mohan had left with his own soldiers at some point, and the house steward had never called him, and he didn't know if it was on purpose.

Jiejiazhuang has a high wall, but there are no defense facilities, so it is no wonder that everyone has run out, so Gao Mohan has taken a bargain. Zhang Yue didn't want to enter the manor, because the outside of the manor was a camp of the Liao army, and it would be difficult to get in and come out, but now he can't help it, and it's even more difficult if he can't get in.

When he met a foodie general, Zhang Yue was overjoyed in his heart, feeling no pressure, of course, on the surface, he looked sincere and flattering, but this made the short steward despise him very much, and he croaked from time to time......

That night, I got a sand nest stewed dog meat, as well as a few cooking dishes, no way, the thickness of the iron pot this year is really not covered, it can't be burned for half a day, and there is no door to eat stir-fried vegetables.

But it's such a dish, Gao Mohan already thinks it's better than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. In the evening, the stocky steward came to look for him again, and the two babbled and compared for a long time, so that He Ju's translator could figure it out, and Gao Mohan wanted to see him again.

Zhang Yue was secretly amused in his heart, thinking about the problem of language barriers, so he took He Ju with him, and the person in charge smiled darkly, and did not object.

However, this guy didn't know whether he was lazy or busy, so he took Zhang Yue and He Ju to the side door of the main hall and turned around and left. The two had to go in by themselves, and saw that the atrium was empty, and there was no light in the hall, and the soldiers did not know where they had died.

"Why is there no one? Is the steward leading the wrong way? He Ju asked curiously.

"It shouldn't be ......" Zhang Yue looked around, stroked his chin and pondered, and intuitively felt that this situation was not right.

It must have been that this short steward was afraid that I would be in the limelight and cause him to lose his job, so he didn't want me to see Gao Mohan, and deliberately brought me here. But where Gao Mohan lives, he really doesn't know, there is a river pebble paved path in the manor that leads directly to the north and south, this is the innermost Xie family compound, and the courtyard is divided into several small courtyards, but how to find it?

According to the layout of the houses of this era, Gaumohan should have lived in the main courtyard to the north, but this is obviously a side courtyard. It's really, that dead dwarf yin me! If Golmohan hadn't seen me, and the dead dwarf would have spoken ill of me again, he would have been in trouble, and he would have died...... Probably not, but with less hands, less feet or something, it's not the same as the end.

If you don't go, Zhang Yue suddenly realized, turned around and exited the courtyard, and looked for it in the dark along the alley in the house to the north. After walking forward for a while, I saw that the courtyard gate in front of me was empty, and the soldiers didn't know where to go, but they didn't guard the door, the lights were shining inside, and someone was arguing about something, and then there was Gao Mohan's unbridled laughter.

Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and slowly stepped forward and was about to push the door in, when He Ju behind him grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Don't!" Hear what they have to say......"
